There's no list available in the code, so I'd have to add
one in especially for this. Can't you just pass whatever the
python coder gives you to xchat_get_int/str? Python coders can then just use
the same docs as for the C-plugin interface to find out what fields
are available.

P.S. the above code got changed slightly, there's an example
of traversing a list at http://xchat.org/docs/plugin20.html#lists
